can somebody tell e the rules of the collision geoetry? I have been trying to do collision geoetry on y vehicles and on my scenery and I keep getting "can not update edge" for y scenery and what not. Maybe someone can do my collision for me? thanks for any help.

the model can have as many errors as you want, but the collision must have none. For vehicles, you need both model and collision to have none (for the most part). Weapons you have errors on model but not on collision. Scenery you should have perfect on both.
Make sure your model has no open edges.

it has no open edges....il see if I can get you a code to look at.....

just make a box for the collision geometry instead of the gun or car but make it the rough outline of the model. then apply a multisub object named collision-geometry and that should work

Try importing the .WRL file to get what your errors are.
Plus, your signature doesn't work. take off the quotes around the link thing.

well basicly make it as simple as possible....for a peice of scenery like....a chair..make a box around the bottom and extrude up a bit....and BOOm...name the materials and link it to the frame.....only use your model as a collision if it is SIMPLE....and boxes cant intersect.......basicly

The update edge error is usually because you have multiple edges that are at the the same place. Like someone said, dont make the the collision complex. and dont make a collision for a base. Its to hard. You need to make your base as part of the map.
